MARQUETTE -- Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) member's pushed a bathtub for 33 hours over this past weekend.  The event is a tradition, and it's all for a good cause.  This year the push was to raise money for the Marquette City Police K-9 unit.
    
They say the department needs help training the two new canines. Twenty-eight fraternity brothers started on Friday from Sault Ste. Marie and pushed their tub all the way to Marquette.  They braved all sorts of weather and finally made it home Sunday morning.

"I hope we do raise more funds. I'm really proud of my guys and what we've got done and how well we are doing so far with this.  Just all the work they put into this; I'm proud of everything that we're doing here," said TKE member, Justin Goodman.

The fraternity is trying to raise $1,000 for the department. During the bathtub push they raised $750.
